Cosmic Pet Products was originally established in 1975 as Cosmic Cat Corporation. It was developed out of the experience of Leon Seidman who was merely trying to make his cat, WB, happy. When he repeatedly brought home store bought catnip to treat his cat, WB repeatedly shook his head and walked away from it. Leon decided to get back to nature, go into the country, and get some good stuff.
So he did and brought some back for his friends. He also continued to save the seeds. He planted then in the garden and they germinated and flourished. He kept going out to the country and cutting wild catnip to give to his cat and his friend's cats. His garden grew lush with catnip and his cat and his friend's cats were very happy.
And as things go with people, his friends told other friends and their friends told more people. So more and more people were coming to Leon's house saying, "Are you the catnip man?" Of course he said "yes" and gave them some catnip to make their cat happy.
So after a year of giving catnip away to people (some of whom were total strangers) who wanted to make their cats happy, it dawned on Leon that he should create a business from catnip and make cats happy everywhere.
Twenty-five years later, Cosmic Catnip is the worlds leading brand of catnip. Cosmic Pet Products produces more packages of catnip than any other company anywhere. Cosmic Pet also is the worlds leading manufacturer of corrugated cat scratchers, catnip, catnip treats, and is the largest manufacturer of catnip toys in the United States.
In keeping with Leon's desire to make cats happy, Cosmic Pet Products has become a leading manufacturer of cat accessory items, developing an international reputation for quality.
Many new products are soon to be presented to the world's cats and a new generation of cat lovers is in training to carry the company deep into the new century.
Oh! And why do we call is Cosmic? Ever see a cat smile? Is that Cosmic? Aren't you?
